QPR manager Harry Redknapp claims ‘gang warfare’ has erupted between agents during the January transfer window – and feels he’s caught in the crossfire.

The Hoops boss, renowned for his savvy manoeuvres and last-minute deals in the market, has been frustrated in his attempts to add to his relegation-threatened QPR squad.

With Thursday’s deadline looming, Redknapp has only brought in striker Loic Remy and defender Tal Ben Haim so far, with Yann M’Vila, who joined Russian outfit Rubin Kazan, and Tottenham’s Tom Huddlestone among a number of targets he has failed to land.

And the former Tottenham and Portsmouth boss believes he has been the victim of underhand tactics by players’ agents.

‘This transfer window, I have never seen anything like it,’ Redknapp said ahead of the visit of Manchester City tomorrow.

‘Every agent seems to be trying to screw each other. It’s like gang warfare out there – it’s scary.

‘If you’re trying to get a player, another agent will try to scupper that deal if he’s not involved in it to try to get you to have one of his.
